The Weight of Doubt

Insecurity, jealousy, doubt, They circle like vultures, Leaving no way out now.

Stones being cast, Daggers being tossed, Feelings of being cornered, Feelings of being lost.

Standing with weak knees, And a tear-stained face, Not being able to remain in the place.

The darkness cannot swallow, The warmth has to stay within, Can't let the devils win— Have to stay calm and keep the peace within.

10 years ago, Michael Schumacher had his tragic skiing accident and we all don't know how he is now. But one thing is sure, he isn't the same as before anymore, otherwise we would've heard from him, after everything that happened.

Michael Schumacher always was my childhood idol. Everything was about Schumi for me. And he still is one of my two biggest idols. Everytime I was asked, as a kid, what I want to be when I'm grown up, I alsways said "Schumi". I hope we will some day hear from him, even though I doubt it. I wish him and his family all the best.

keep fighting.

Kahit anong mangyari tuloy lang at lumaban.

Kahit ayaw na natin sa ginagawa o napipilitan na lang laban lang.

Kahit hindi patas ang mundo at ng mga nangayayari sa paligid. Pilitin nating lumaban para sa pangarap at sa mga umaasa sa atin.

Pansamantala lang ang mga ito, darating din ang araw na malalagpasan ang mga nararanasan mo.

Our Journey, Our Fight, Our Hope

Hello, and welcome to this space where I share my family’s journey—one filled with challenges, perseverance, and hope.

I’m a parent navigating the complex realities of my son’s medical needs and the struggles with healthcare and the child protective services (CPS) system in the U.S. Our story isn’t always easy to tell, but it’s one I feel compelled to share.

Why I’m Sharing

• To Raise Awareness: Too many families face uphill battles with healthcare and CPS, often without the resources or support they need.

• To Connect: If you’re struggling too, you’re not alone. Let’s build a community where we can lean on each other.

• To Advocate for Change: It’s time we shine a light on the systemic issues that make these journeys harder than they need to be.

What You Can Expect Here

• Honest accounts of our experiences navigating medical care and advocating for my son.

• Updates on our journey, including both the challenges and the victories.

• Insights into the healthcare and CPS systems, from a parent’s perspective.

• Hope, resilience, and the determination to keep fighting for better outcomes—not just for us, but for others too.

How You Can Help

• Follow and Share: Spread the word about this space to anyone who might relate or want to help.

• Engage: Your comments, shares, and likes remind us we’re not alone.

• Advocate: Use your voice to push for a better, more compassionate system for families like ours.

Together, we can create change—whether by sharing our stories, supporting one another, or advocating for reforms. Thank you for being here, for reading, and for caring.

Let’s start this journey together.

With gratitude and hope,

~Josiah’s Mom

You Are Enough: A Story of Strength and Self-Acceptance

From the moment you heard that life-altering word—cancer—your world was forever changed. It's a diagnosis that seems to consume you, as every thought, appointment, and decision is colored by it. But today, I want to share something with you. In all the battles you've fought, in every moment of self-doubt, there is a truth that remains: You Are Enough.

Overwhelmed, But Still Standing

It’s natural to feel overwhelmed, even lost. At the beginning, you’re bombarded with information—treatment options, recovery times, the dos and don’ts. Your doctor is telling you what must be done. Friends and family rally around, offering advice, sending articles, reminding you to “stay positive.” And then there's the endless search for answers online, where statistics and opinions add to the storm of thoughts swirling around your mind.

You reach a point where every word, every statistic, and every possible “what-if” weighs heavily on you. Just when you begin to feel a hint of clarity, you’re off to another appointment: another scan, another blood test, another MRI. It feels like you’ve given so much of yourself—physically, mentally, emotionally. And yet, you’re still here, still standing. You’re giving all you have, and it’s enough.

The Tug of War: Life Before and After Diagnosis

After a cancer diagnosis, many people feel the pull between their "old life" and their "new reality." You want to believe that you can keep everything just as it was, that you can go back to normal, and live as if nothing has changed. But then, reality hits, and you realize that cancer has changed you, even if you didn’t want it to. And that’s okay.

You don’t have to do everything. You don’t have to make everyone happy. This battle is not about meeting anyone else’s expectations. It’s about finding your strength, understanding your limits, and knowing that what you are able to give is enough. On days when you feel like you’re disappointing others, remind yourself: It’s okay to put yourself first.

Be Kind to Yourself

In the middle of this battle, the hardest person to be kind to can be yourself. You may feel like a different version of yourself, one who doesn’t have the same energy or resilience you once did. But this doesn’t mean you’re any less than you were before. You are the same person who laughed with friends, who pursued dreams, who loved deeply. Now, you are all of those things and a cancer warrior.

Embrace this journey as part of your story. Yes, it’s challenging, but it doesn’t define your worth. Remember, you are still the same incredible person you were before, and even though cancer is a part of your journey, it doesn’t get to be your entire story.

Release the Guilt, Embrace Self-Love

There will be moments when you can’t keep up with everything, and that’s okay. Say “no” when you need to, without feeling guilty. Release the pressure to take on the world. The truth is, you’re enough for everything that truly matters. Your career, your family, your friends, your life—they need you as you are, not as the version of you that does it all.

So let go of the guilt that tells you you’re letting people down if you can’t be everything to everyone. In reality, taking care of yourself isn’t letting anyone down; it’s giving yourself the grace to be the best version of you, even if it looks different than before.

You Are Enough—Today, Tomorrow, and Always

You don’t need to earn your place in this world by how much you give or accomplish. Your value isn’t tied to your productivity or even to how “bravely” you fight. You are enough just by being you.

Cancer may be part of your journey, but it doesn’t define who you are. Take each day as it comes, breathe in the moments of peace, and know that you are worthy of love and happiness. Your life is meaningful—not because of what you do, but because of who you are.

Let yourself rest. Let yourself heal. And when you look in the mirror, remember those three words: You Are Enough. They’re not just words; they’re the truth. You’re enough for this moment, enough for this battle, and enough for every beautiful day that lies ahead.

Have you ever lost someone?

Not physically lost.

Instead mentally, emotionally and spiritually?

That aching in your back.

Stomach in constant knots, on the verge of wanting to rip your insides out.

Waking up in the middle of the night, cold sweats, and anxiety so bad you can’t get yourself back to sleep.

That’s what I mean by losing someone.
